Censorship of Regular Show in Australia

This page requires factual improvement in order to reach our wiki standards. This may include testing episodes, adding to total edited time, and updating material which has been censored.

Cartoon Network Australia and New Zealand has censored several episodes of Regular Show. Their edits originate from the United Kingdom on some episodes, because CNA also has a hate for moderately explicit words, such as "crap" and "piss" but they are not counted on this page.

Mordecai kicking Rigby in the groin in the flashback was cut. It was also cut in UK, though the UK version just used a long shot of Rigby lying on the sofa with his back to the audience to cover up the groin kick scene.

Mordecai saying "You screaming like a flippin' maniac!" was croply changed to "You screaming like a maniac!"

When Mordecai and Rigby are watching ello govnor, the scene where the taxi eats the old man and the taxi removes his bones from the nitrous pipe was normally shown, but is now cut to just show the ending of the scene where Mordecai is seen sleeping on the couch.

Muscle Man and Starla running towards each other while their breasts jiggling was cut.Surprisingly, the two scenes of a naked Muscle Man crying in the shower and the shot of Starla's lower back tattoo showing all the men she dated and Sexual refrences are not cut.

As seen above, the episodes "Ello Gov'nor", "My Mom", "Benson Be Gone", "Jinx", "Grave Sights" and "Go Viral" are ruled as 'not suitable to air'.

Unlike Adventure Time, Regular Show's censors are mostly due to crude language, sexual innuendo, and scenes of reckless behavior that can easily be imitated in real life (i.e., breaking windows, groin kicking, fooling around with dangerous chemicals/appliances, etc), although some of the sexual references were kept in (and episodes that had too much of it were simply banned). Adventure Time is mostly censored for sexual innuendo and scenes considered too gross or violent to be shown to younger audiences (even though, on American television, both shows are rated PG for mild violence, crude language, and suggestive themes/humor/dialogue and are left uncut and uncensored. On Australia and New Zealand television, both shows are rated PG as well, despite being edited).

The Title Search application on Foxtel, an Australian broadcasting service which Cartoon Network Australia is broadcast on, revealed that the six episodes "Ello Gov'nor", "My Mom", "Benson Be Gone", "Jinx", "Grave Sights" and "Go Viral" were explicitly rejected by the network, dismissing them as unsuitable for viewing. However, two episodes were later reviewed and allowed broadcasting, screening "Benson Be Gone" on the 9th of April, 2012, and "Ello Gov'nor" on the 28th of October, 2012 as part of a Halloween block. As well as this, the episodes "Muscle Woman" and "More Smarter" were also revealed to be refused viewing, however they too eventually aired, with "Muscle Woman" airing on the 11th of April, 2012, and "More Smarter" on the 23rd of April, 2012.
